    You can open any executable with the shell command you just have to specify the full path to the exe file.

    I have no idea what Bloomberg is!

    Hi again,

    VBA has a Shell command that will do the job.

    RetVal = Shell("C:\WINDOWS\CALC.EXE", 1) ' Run Calculator

    Hello! I know that the Shell can open programs belonging to the Windows family. However I was referring to Bloomberg (not part of the Windows family). Does anyone know if it is possible to open a program not belonging to the Windows family I would have tried it but I am vacation (that I dont have time to enjoy) and I do not have access to Bloomberg from here. I would very much appreciate an answer! Thank you very much!
